Kirsa Jensen (born 15 December 1968) was a 14-year-old girl who lived in Napier, New Zealand when she disappeared on 1 September 1983 while riding her horse, Commodore. She never returned home that night and has not been seen since. Her horse was found wandering near the Tutaekuri River but few traces of Jensen were ever discovered, and the case remains unsolved.[1] Police believed that Jensen was abducted and murdered. The case is one of few unsolved New Zealand murder mysteries and is significant within a New Zealand context.[2][3]
